Bieksa (upper body) will be available Sunday night for Game 3 against the Predators. Thomas Willis, Interactive Media Manager for the Preds, adds that Bieksa could be in the lineup if Josh Manson (upper body injury) proves unfit to play.

EDGE Analysis

Since Bieksa's return is dependent on the health of another player, he'll be too risky to count on in playoff settings. If both defensemen are held out, Shea Theodore and Korbinian Holzer could be called upon for work in Game 2.
